Thank HEAVENS!
Do not get me wrong, I have enjoyed our time in Virginia, however, I have not enjoyed living in a crap-hole. We returned home from our Honeymoon as Newlyweds and came straight to the Ramada in Petersburg, Virginia. Doesn't that just sound like the life?!? A LONG 15 days later we moved into our small little 2 room/galley bath/galley kitchen apartment.
Friday morning, Greg graduates from BOLC III and we're off to NC to celebrate Thanksgiving. Next stop for him will be Airborne School to jump out of Airplanes and I am going to stay in our hometown to get everything ready for our big move...which is A MONTH AWAY!!!
Since this blog is about documenting our lives together & our Army Adventures...here's a little recap of our time spent in Viginia:
-Moved into here on Aug. 15th after 2 dreadful weeks in the nastiest Ramada ever.
-Cooked A LOT to pass the time.
-Went to Busch Gardens, for free.
-Discovered Short Pump Towne Center in Richmond & shopped at my very 1st H&M...I'm a believer!
-Spent the day at Virginia Beach & got burnt like a lobster.
-Ate at the Cheesecake Factory for the very 1st time & now believe when I'm on my death-bed I will plead for a slice of Craig's Crazy Carrot Cheesecake.
-Went to Williamsburg and got zero pictures!
-Went home to welcome these guys into the world {which I cannot wait to get my hands on again}
-Had my parents up for a visit.
-Worked out like madness & threw my body for a loop...long, extensive story.
-Visited Washington DC for the weekend with the in-laws and walked my poor little feet off.
-Discoverd that being healthy & having a family with Greg is my #1 priority right now..even if I can't fit into my skinny jeans. He loves me. The end.
-Fell back in love with Monopoly...best.game.ever.of.all.time. You never get too old for it, trust me.
-Met some pretty great friends & had some hilarious moments. Thank you Zach & Scott. :) {see, you're famous now}
-Celebrated Greg's 28th Birthday.
-Lived together for the very 1st time...it has been interesting to say the least. ;)
-Attended the General's Reception & I got to purchase a new dress {well, 2 actually. Hey, a girl's gotta have options}
-Fell in love with each other more & more every.single.day. Greg, baby, I am SO proud of you. I hope you know that there is not a single day that I do not thank God for giving you to me.
See ya later Ft. Lee...we shall see you again in a few years for Captains Career Course, Lord-willing.
